SAFETY

Read and understand all manuals and instructional material listed on cover, inside front cover and introduction page of this Manual before starting, operating or performing maintenance procedures on this equipment.

Operators of this equipment must have successfully completed a training course meeting the OSHA Powered Industrial Truck Operator Training Requirements (CFR 1910.178) for this type of material handling equipment.

Regardless of previous experience operating similar equipment, the operator must be given sufficient opportunity to practice with the handler in a safe, open area (not hazardous to people or property) to gain operating skills and the proper “feel” for controls and operating clearances required for safe, efficient operation.

GRADALL Material Handlers are equipped with a right-side rearview mirror. This mirror is intended as an operator’s aid and does not replace the requirement for line-of-sight. Certain job site and machine conditions may require use of a signal person to help the operator when picking, placing or transporting a load. Never operate the handler until you know pick-up point, line of travel and landing point are clear. Always be aware that objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

Safety Precautions

Make sure all DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and INSTRUCTIONAL DECALS are in place and can be read. Clean or replace decals as required.

Ensure handler is on a firm, level surface before lifting or placing load. Have surface leveled if necessary. Unit can tip over if load is raised with handler

on a soft or uneven surface.

WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS ; THEY CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO SAFETY NOTICES.

DANGER

This symbol indicates an extreme hazard which will result in high probability of death or serious injury if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING

This symbol indicates a hazard which could result in death or serious injury if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION

This symbol indicates a hazard which may result in injury or damage to equipment or property if proper precautions are not taken.

Always look in the direction of travel. Reduce speed and be especially careful when traveling in reverse and/or turning. Be aware of tail swing due to rear-pivot steering.

If load or conditions obstruct view, use a signal person when lifting, carrying or placing a load.

Loose clothing can get caught in moving machinery and can also cause accidental actuation of controls. Dress properly for the job.

Be alert to any unusual response to controls. If unusual response is noticed, position handler in a safe area, lower forks to ground, apply parking brake, stop engine and remove key from ignition switch. Tag steering wheel to forbid operation and notify maintenance personnel.

Keep hands, gloves, shoes, control knobs and pedals clean. Slippery controls

can cause accidents. Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel when traveling.

Load capacities are based on load center being within 24 inches from front vertical face of forks.

Never service the handler with the engine running.

Release trapped pressure before disconnecting, opening or removing any

hydraulic component.

WARNING

Operator must be seated with seat belt fastened, forward reverse lever in “Neutral” position, parking brake applied and all hydraulic controls in “Neutral” before starting engine.

Form No. 20027 • G6-42P Owner/Operator Manual

1.1

Keep all windows and mirror(s) clean. Adjust mirror(s) as visibility, before and during opera

Never permit diesel engine to run out of fuel. Doing so can cause severe damage.

DO NOT burn or drill holes in forks. Modifying any part of machine or attachment affects it’s capacity and/or stability of machine.

Keep head, arms, hands, legs and all other body parts inside the operator’s cab at all times.

DO NOT approach power lines, overhead or underground cables or other power sources with any part of your material handler or load unless all local, state/ provincial and federal regulations have been met and the appropriate utility company’s hotline has been contacted to de-energize the lines.

Whenever leaving the cab, perform standard shut-down procedure:

tion.

Standard Shut-Down Procedure

Position the handler in a safe location, apply parking brake, lower forks to ground, make sure all controls are in to 5 minutes.

Stop engine and remove ignition key. Block wheels.

“Neutral,” allow engine to run at low idle for 3

required for maximum

WARNING

Contact The Gradall Company prior to welding on machine.

1.2

Pinch Points

Stay clear of pinch points and rotating parts on the material handler. Getting caught in a pinch point or a moving part can cause serious injury or death. Before performing any maintenance on machine, follow the “STANDARD SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE” on page 1.1.

FOR OTHER ATTACHMENTS CONSULT A GRADALL DEALER FOR LOAD RATINGS NOT LISTED.

USE LARGEST NUMBER VISIBLE FROM THE CAB TO DETERMINE BOOM EXTENSION.

MATCH WITH BOOM ANGLE TO DETERMINE ALLOWABLE LOAD.

FIGURES SHOWN ARE STACKING CAPACITY TRUCK LEVEL.

RATED LIFTING CAPACITIES SHOWN ARE WITH MACHINE ON A FIRM, LEVEL SURFACE WITH UNDAMAGED, PROPERLY INFLATED TIRES.

MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS AND STABILITY ARE BASED ON RATED LIFT CAPACITIES AT SPECIFIC BOOM ANGLES AND BOOM LENGTHS.

IF SPECIFICATIONS ARE CRITICAL, THE PROPOSED APPLICATION SHOULD BE DISCUSSED WITH YOUR DEALER.

DO NOT EXCEED RATED LIFT CAPACITY LOADS, AS UNSTABLE AND DANGEROUS MACHINE CONDITIONS WILL RESULT.

DO NOT TIP THE MACHINE FORWARD TO DETERMINE ALLOWABLE LOAD.

CERTAIN CARRIAGE/FORK COMBINATIONS MAY CAUSE HANDLER TO TIP WITHOUT LOAD WHEN EXTENDED INTO "NO OPERATION" ZONE AS NOTED ON CAPACITY CHART.

CAPACITY LIMITS FOR THIS UNIT ARE BASED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS LISTED ON SERIAL NUMBER PLATE.

OPERATOR’S CAB

The standard cab permits vision from all sides and includes an overhead guard to provide protection from falling objects.

A fully-enclosed cab with windows and a lockable door is available as an option. The top half of the cab door must be secured in the fully-opened or closed position. The bottom half of the cab door can be secured in the closed position only. Be sure the door and window are fully secured when operating the handler.

The operator’s seat is equipped with a seat belt and includes fore and aft adjustment to compensate for variations in operator size. The adjustment release/lock is located on the side

of seat. Wear seat belt when operating

machine.

An optional windshield wiper/washer is available for use with enclosed cabs. A control switch is located on the instrument panel.

A variable-speed defroster fan is available for use with enclosed cabs. An “On/ Off” control switch and speed control are located on the base of the fan.

The heater fan speed is controlled by a knob on the panel to the right of the operator’s seat. Hot water to the heater can be controlled by a knob on the same panel or a valve in the engine compartment.

The operator’s cab is an S.A.E. “FOPS/ROPS” structure. Do not make any modification to this structure. If damaged, the cab cannot be repaired. It must be replaced.

CONTROL AND INSTRUMENT IDENTIFICATION

Figure 3-1

WARNING

Never operate the handler unless the overhead guard is in good condition.

WARNING

Any modification which adds weight to this machine must be approved by GRADALL to assure compliance with FOPS/ROPS certification for this cab/machine configuration.

NOTE!
